Results vs. Carnegie Mellon

October 11 – The Oberlin College women's tennis team closed out their fall season in grand fashion with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Grove City College on Saturday afternoon.

With the match still in the balance, it came down to the No. 3 position where senior Olivia Hayden was locked in a duel against Lisa Baldwin. After dropping the first set in a tough 7-6 decision, Hayden fell behind 4-3 in the second set, but Yeowomen's team captain displayed her sheer fortitude with three-straight points to battle back for a 6-4 victory. With the momentum on her side she was able to finish off her opponent with a 6-3 win to propel Oberlin to victory.

“This was a great way to end what has been a very productive fall season,” head coach Constantine Ananiadis said. “It was great to see Liv pick up our team and bring home the win for us.”

First-year phenom Ariel Lewis shined at the No. 1 slot, making short work of Tamara Nations 6-2, 6-0, while Sarah Teitelbaum completed a trio of singles winners with back-to-back 6-4 scores against Christina Bedi in the No. 5 meeting.

Senior Kelly Sipp partnered with Hayden at No. 1 doubles to knockoff Kit Garica and Nations by an 8-6 count. The tandem of Jane Hayden and Lewis, which went to the finals of the Oberlin Open a few weeks ago, shined again at No. 2 with an 8-1 thumping of Kristin Taylor and Baldwin.

Earlier in the day, the Yeowomen took on one of the toughest teams in all of Division III in the Carnegie Mellon Tartans – suffering a 9-0 setback. Complete results can be found below.
